Back for the trope mash-up I did a royal au/flirting under fire, which was a lot of fun. I got a bit stuck with the private eye au (apparently writing a nod to the noir genre requires you to write a mystery who knew), and so I thought I’d play with this idea a bit. As always I have no idea where this is going.
This was how Obi-Wan remembered Satine, always: armor scorched and battered, family crest nigh unrecognizable from a blaster bolt that nearly took her heart, her head held high and her chin set in that stubborn, fighter’s jut as she strode across what remained of the final battle, silence ringing hollow in her footsteps as she came before the clan heads, her dark skin smeared with blood and ash and dust.
“No more killing,” she said, pale hair lying tangled about her face. “No more dying. Now we live, for Mandalore.”
“For Mandalore,” the clan heads echoed, fists clenched over their hearts as they gave the loyalty to Satine Kryze, the Duchess of Mandalore.
— It looks like I may never see you again. I don’t know quite how to say this, but I’ve loved you from the moment you came to my aid, all those years ago
The bounty on the Duchess of Mandalore may seem tempting, but since the Jedi became involved, she’s very closely guarded.
(I feel like a cheated a little today by leaving my pencil lines. I’m committed to using ink in some way in all of my inktober projects, but I kinda needed a reprieve from the stress of inking hard lines, and I liked this sketch too much to ruin it)
“Remember, my dear Obi-Wan, I’ve loved you always. I always will.” ~ Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalor
I will never get over Obi-Wan and Satine’s story, so I spent about 15 hours on this. First time coloring my art on photoshop!
day 13: mandalorian
listen i know we all love obi-wan in armour, but if obi-wan was already on mandalore he could have tal merrick’s job and fancy cape, and there would be one less person attempting to overthrow satine’s government from the inside. featuring i got halfway through colouring before i realized i forgot to ink one of obi-wan’s hands.
